What happened:
After a long rest in Sigil, the party talks to the Wizards Three. Alustriel gives the party information on Mournland in Eberon. She explains why Nyx can't get an exact location the 3rd piece of the rod. That divination magic does not work well in the Mournland. Tasha recommends that the party finds a Docent and using it to help "tune" the 2nd rod piece and it should point the party in the right direction of the 3rd piece. Tasha says that Docent were used to power colossi, powerful war machines.
The party arrives in the Mournland near a black oval mirror. In the distance they can see several ruined colossi and two villages out in the distance. They head towards the closest colossi to search for a Docent. Unfortunately, the party does not find a Docent, but Tink realizes that the Docent was removed with precise precision by someone who knew what they were doing.
The party takes a long rest and take turns during watch. Zel sees biped creatures walking along the dunes, but they are headed away from the party.
The next morning the party decides to follow the river toward the first village. They find some Cryan veterans. The group leader, an orc named Kalyth, tells the party that they are looking for a Docent. That Docents are valuable and can be sold outside of the Mournland. Kalyth says that there is a stockpile of Docent in the other village, but the "rogue warforged" there made it clear they wouldn’t give up their stockpile without a fight. Nyx feels like Kalyth is not telling them everything. So the party decides to sneak away the first chance they get.
The group finds another ruined colossi, but again there is no Docent. Tink finds multiple boots prints coming in this colossi and that the tracks point back to the warforged village. Night falls and the party uses the ruined colossi to take another long rest. Burton is on watch when a group of warfordged show up. Burton wakes the party. The leader of the warforged, Mercy, asks the party what they are doing here. Tink explains they are just salvaging and trying to make some coin. Mercy says they will find nothing here, much like the Cryans. She mentions that the Docents are sacred relics and are not to be sold. Nyx attempts to befriend the warforged and Mercy welcomes the party to come back to their village, Ialos, and that perhaps an agreement could be reached.
On the way to Ialos, the group is attacked by hostile warforged. The pilgrim warforged flee once the battle starts. Once all three hostiles are defeated. Mercy explains that these warforged work for a bloodthirsty warmonger called the Lord of Blades.
The party arrives safely to Ialos, where they find more pilgrim warforged. After a quick look around, the party feels that it is safe here and takes a long rest.
